Advanced Scheduling Operations

This chapter describes how users with advanced scheduler permissions have

more options when scheduling conferences using the Polycom® Converged

Management Application™ (CMA™) system.

When scheduling conferences, users with advanced scheduler permissions

can:

•Edit Conference Settings

•Select a Bridge for a Conference

•Create a Cascaded Conference Across Multiple Bridges

Edit Conference Settings

If you have Scheduler Permissions and an Advanced Scheduling level, you

can overwrite certain conference template settings as described here.

However, be careful when doing so. If you have an environment with mixed

MCU types (e.g., with both Polycom MGC and RMX systems), and the

conference you schedule is hosted on a Polycom RMX system, some of the

settings you specify here may be overridden by the RMX profile.

You can edit conference settings only for scheduled conferences. You cannot

edit conference settings for active conferences.

•A profile is a collection of advanced conference settings that reside on the MCU

(Polycom MGC or RMX system). Only an RMX profile can override conference

template settings. For more information about conference templates, profiles,

and your conferencing configuration, contact your Polycom CMA system

administrator.

•Two conferences scheduled with the same template may have different settings

and behavior if they land on different types of MCUs.
